She often dismisses traditional ingredient choices as non-evidence-based but the reasoning here about tamarind’s specific action on digestive fire is coherent enough that I want her to read it before we dismiss it entirely. 💯

There does seem to be a difference in how easily things digest afterward. Hard to tell if it is the tamarind specifically or the overall cooking style, but interesting either way. 💯
